Efficient handling of bakery sandwich creams with low trans fatty acids
20 February, 2013 | Supplied by: SPX Flow Technology Australia Pty LtdBakery filling creams for sandwich biscuits (also known as sandwich creams) pose numerous process challenges including dispersion of the high sugar content (50-70% fine sugar), the time to mechanical stability and the high pressure and torque required to handle the product. Additionally, health concerns, consumer demands and legislation have led to the reduction or removal of trans fatty acids and, indeed, reduction in the percentage of saturated fatty acids from these products. This has left many producers with the challenge of handling a recipe that has a slower crystallisation speed which results in a change in the vital consistency of the product.
